Securities Lending

Transparency and risk management

At Northern Trust, clients have the opportunity to optimise the value of their portfolios by participating in our securities lending programme, while working within their individual risk tolerances.

Exceptional Capital Strength

Sophisticated investors recognise the importance of partnering with a stable and disciplined lending agent.

Discerning investors recognise that indemnification is only as strong as the lending agent offering the protection.

Northern Trust possesses the financial strength and stability to be a premier, dependable partner for our clients, and has proven its success through years of business cycles.

Customised Solutions for Client Satisfaction
